Your iPhone is currently unresponsive or acting buggy. You can fix this by performing a forced restart.

  1. Take your iPhone out of its case so you can easily reach the buttons [0:13].
  2. Quickly press and release the volume up button, then immediately press and release the volume down button [0:23].
  3. Press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo appear on your screen [0:31].

Ninja Tip: If your device remains unresponsive after this process, connect it to a power source for at least 30 minutes before trying the forced restart steps again.

If the problem persists, perform a factory reset via Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings.
